Each month, Hilbish Ford recognizes an outstanding teacher at both Kannapolis City Schools and Cabarrus County Schools, who are all nominated by their students and parents. These teachers are often nominated for a list of reasons, but all of them have one thing in common: they will do anything to support the overall success of their students. We can't thank our teachers enough for all they do to support their students, but we're proud to present this award each month as our way to show you how much we appreciate everything you do. Thank you teachers!
Now, on to this month's Hilbish Teacher of the Month Awards...
Kannapolis City Schools - Kayla Harris
"The Kannapolis City Schools Board of Directors was pleased to recognize the Hilbish Ford Teacher of the Month, Kayla Harris from Jackson Park Elementary.
Kayla Harris is a dedicated and passionate first-grade teacher at Jackson Park Elementary. The families who nominated her spoke to the way she goes above and beyond to spend time with each student so that they get the most out of her instruction. Kayla understands that all children have different ways of learning and she helps all of them reach their full potential.
Her principal, Mr. Gibson shared, "Kayla is so deserving of this recognition. Serving as a first-grade teacher at Jackson Park, as well as on our school-wide MTSS team, she has a unique position to see, and serve, the entire school program. She is so good at analyzing student data, developing academic interventions and extensions, and of course, delivering engaging instruction in the classroom.” He continued by saying, “the work Kayla Harris does both in her classroom and at the school level makes all of us better. The relationship she develops with all of her students and colleagues not only builds all of us instructionally, but also enhances our school culture as a loving, student-centered, and wonderful place.”
We’re extremely proud that Kayla Harris has remained part of our KCS family, from her time as a student to becoming an outstanding teacher, and we’re delighted, on behalf of General Manager, Tim Vaughn, to present her with the Hilbish Ford Teacher of the Month Award. Congratulations, Kayla!"
